I always thought that strange. After all, Qt was born as a Unix-type GUI
toolkit. Unless I got my facts wrong. Then again, it's only in recent
years that Unix-like systems moved to UTF-8. I think even FreeBSD didn't
use UTF-8 out of the box (until the last one or two releases).

Java also uses UTF-16. What I like about those two are that they only
have one string type. No confusion, but then they don't have as long a
history as Pascal, so no legacy code to worry about.
